These covers don’t do a hot damn thing for me. I wouldn’t touch a book with a cover like this because seriously, WTF? He looks like he doesn’t have any pupils, she looks Barbie’s red-headed step-child with bad hair and nothing screams romance about it. Ugh.
Once again, a stellar example of WTF! I like your comments, but I think you missed a few things. First, the girl is looking like she’s smelling something awful, or maybe terrified out of her mind “Who is this guy?” Second, the dialogue; “void,” “pollination,” “master bee.” WTF is sexy about that?
Rowena: Great work tracking these down. Your WTF’s are so good, most of the time I pass them along to a couple of girlfriends who I know appreciate the humor.
She looks like she just threw up in her mouth a little. I don’t blame her, that legless, shifty-eyed GI Joe behind her is totally groping her upper boob area. Ugh.
And yeah, the master bee analogy, um, not romantic. Also, if they’re in Siberia, where are their hats and coats. He’s in camo, and she’s in a blazer. They’re going to freeze to death.
That girl is either gassy or throwing up in her mouth, probably because he’s trying to unsuccessfully perform the Heimlich maneuver on her.
What year was this cover published? It looks like a contender for our annual cover contest at Cover Cafe. I hope it’s from 2014. 😀
That quote on the cover – gag!
The guy looks totally skeevy. And she looks like she’s trying to protect her lady parts from being groped. The title and the blurb totally don’t match – are we talking fires or bugs? And her pink flower? Ugh….Never would this book be on my radar!
